Twista has long been known to be one of the fastest lyricists in the game, and during his appearance on Drink Champs On Saturday (February 26), the “Slow Jamz” rapper reflected on being crowned the fastest rapper alive by the Guinness Book of World Records and compared his lyrical ability to the talents of Michael Jordan.
“Well you know, I think I put a stamp on it,” Twista said when Drink Champs host DJ EFN said he hadn’t heard such a quick enedstyle of rap until Twista’s emergence in 1991. “I think I put my foot in it, you know. So you asking ‘who invented it?’ You got different versions of it I just might consider myself the Michael Jordan version of it.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Twista spoke on how he’s maintained his longevity in the rap game by simply being himself.
“That’s the one main thing is really nothing is more important than being really yourself,” Twista said. “Cause you will get caught up in somebody else hype fast, and you gonna start curving your shit to sound like they shit and looking like, you know what I’m talking about. So the main thing is to stick with your shit.”
